-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Australian wonder mare Black Caviar extended her unbeaten streak to 25 races in some style on Saturday , blowing away her rivals in the TJ Smith Stakes at Sydney 's Randwick Racecourse .

Her 25th victory was also her 15th at the sports highest level , overtaking the mark of 14 Group 1 wins set by the legendary Kingston Town in the late 1970s and early 1980s .

It was in 2011 that Black Caviar posted what many consider her greatest-ever performance in this very race , beating Hay List by three lengths after trailing him by the same distance coming into the home straight . On this occasion no such heroics were required .

Facing one of her toughest-ever fields , including her old foe Hay List , admittedly not the force he once was , and the in-form Bel Sprinter , Black Caviar 's regular rider Luke Nolen had to jockey for position in the early stages as he sought to overcome an unfavorable inside draw .

The decisive move came around 300 meters out , when Nolen guided her away from the softer ground by the rail and settled her behind the leaders towards the middle of the track . From there , all Nolen had to do was pull the pin and the six-year-old instantly responded , lengthening away from the rest of the field with her to claim her eight consecutive Group 1 win .

All day Sydneysiders had celebrated the presence of one of Australia 's most popular sporting heroes . Flags in her trademark salmon and black colors fluttered over Sydney 's iconic harbor , while the capacity crowd ensured Randwick Racecourse was filled the rafters .

Speaking after the race , Black Caviar 's trainer Peter Moody praised the crowd , adding that he was `` extremely proud '' of his mare for breaking Kingston Town 's record . As Black Caviar was cheered on her way back to the winners ' enclosure her jockey noted , `` You can see what she means to racing . To be part of that -- words escape me . ''

With Black Caviar 's form seemingly better than ever despite her age , her connections have hinted that a return to Royal Ascot , scene of her narrowest-ever victory , may be on the cards later this summer before a rendezvous with Frankel in the breeding shed in what would surely be considered the racing world 's own royal wedding .
